The King's Road looks not unlike most other high streets these days, albeit a bit posher. Now, just like anywhere else, there are branches of Boots, McDonald's, Gap and, of course, the ubiquitous coffee-shop chains.In fact, always a trend-setter, it was at where Starbucks opened its first ever British coffee-shop in 1998. But the famous street, once literally the road belonging to the King when Charles II built it to link St James's Palace to Fulham, has earned its notoriety for setting rather more exciting trends than branded milky coffee. It was here that one of the most celebrated fashion-statements of the last century really took off - the mini-skirt.

Shoppers at a King's Road boutique Credit:GETTYSkirts were definitely getting shorter in the early to mid-sixties but it was more to do with the technological advances that enabled tights to be produced relatively cheaply than anything else and Quant did say, “It was the girls on the King’s Road who invented the mini. I was making easy, youthful, simple clothes, in which you could move, in which you could run and jump and we would make them the length the customer wanted. I wore them very short and the customers would say, ‘Shorter, shorter.’”It was a coffee shop, however, that kick-started Quant's career.

Early in 1955, 43 years before the first Starbucks served its first latte in Britain, the Fantasie coffee bar opened at. It was a year or so after Gina Lollobrigida opened the Moka espresso cafe in Frith Street but the Fantasie was still one of the first espresso coffee bars in London and certainly outside Soho. It was owned by an ex-solicitor called Archie McNair and it was at the Fantasie that he, Mary Quant and her boyfriend of two years Alexander Plunkett-Greene hatched a plan to open a boutique on the Kings Road. A few months later they had managed to scrape together £8,000 to buy the basement and ground-floor of Markham House on the corner of Markham Square. It was next door to a dingy pub called the Markham Arms (it has long since closed and now is a Santander bank). This was the pub, incidentally, where the Soviet spies Anthony Blunt and Kim Philby, after a three year wait, re-established contact following the flight of Guy Burgess and Donald Maclean to the Soviet Union in 1951.The shop which they called Bazaar opened in November 1955 and was an immediate success. Within ten days they had next to no merchandise left to sell.

Quant once recalled: “People were sort of three-deep outside the window. The Royal Court Theatre people were mad about what we were doing. And it was very much the men who were bringing their girlfriends around and saying, “this is terrific. You must have some of this!’”. Dungeon hunter 6. An old postcard showing the Chelsea Palace theatreThe attractive terracotta-clad Chelsea Palace of Varieties, designed by the noted theatre designers Oswald Wilson and Charles Long, had opened in 1903.

But despite Paul Raymond's best efforts, by the time Quant and APG started visiting, it was already struggling to attract audiences. In November 1956 the theatre's life as a music-hall came to an end.A couple of months before the Palace closed John Osborne went along to see Max Wall headlining a variety show. He was just in time to catch an act near the bottom of the bill performing an impression of Charles Laughton’s Quasimodo. Osborne recognised a sort of heroic decency in the talentless performer, who despite constant jeering ridicule, appeared on stage night after night. The visit to the Chelsea Palace that evening inspired The Entertainer, his play about Archie Rice, the failing music hall artiste. Two years later by which time Osborne’s The Entertainer was on at the Royal Court Theatre up the road, the Chelsea Palace was bought by Granada Television and the stalls in the theatre were replaced by a studio floor.

The long running and popular comedy series The Army Game was filmed there, but also another popular programme called Chelsea at Nine. This was a live variety show that purposely took advantage of the studio’s location in the capital to feature visiting American artists that were appearing in the West End. This often meant that the finest jazz singer on earth would follow a performer who’d struggle to get on the end of a bill in Skegness.

Ella Fitzgerald was once told to introduce the next act as the world's greatest song-and-dance-spoons man. Every time she tried the link she started to laugh and eventually had to give up. Ella Fitzgerald Credit:GETTYOn the 23 February 1959 a gaunt and unsteady Billie Holiday was helped up onto the Chelsea at Nine stage to perform, rather beautifully, three songs - Strange Fruit, Please Don’t Talk About Me When I’ m Gone and I Loves You Porgy.

Luckily for us the shows were ‘Ampex-ed’ by Granada and her Chelsea at Nine performances still survive. Granada's studio Credit:GETTYSeven years later and not long after Granada had vacated the premises, the handsome Chelsea Palace was knocked down by developers. John Osborne complained that it was replaced by nothing more than “a squalid block of shops” one of which, and not particularly squalid, became a branch of Heal’s. “Don’t clap too loud, we’re all in a very old building”, says Archie Rice in The Entertainer. It was an ancient music-hall joke but the Chelsea Palace was only 63 years old when it was demolished in 1966. This was the very same year that the mini-skirt, whether Mary Quant’s or otherwise, became all the rage, especially up and down the King’s Road.
